Cascadian independence

Cascadian independence refers to a movement advocating for the political separation and self-governance of the Cascadia region, which includes parts of northern California, Oregon, Washington, and western British Columbia. Supporters believe this area shares a unique cultural, environmental, and economic identity distinct from the United States and Canada. The movement emphasizes sustainability, indigenous rights, and decentralized governance. Proponents envision a nation that values ecological responsibility and social equity, responding better to local needs than larger governmental systems. The concept often utilizes the imagery of the Cascades mountain range to symbolize the region's natural beauty and unity.
